I would NEVER recommend mounting a floorstanding speaker on the wall. That'll look diifferent having a 15" deep, 42" tall, 47lb speaker on the wall. at least it'll be a conversation piece once you figure out how to mount it.

Oh I am one innovative SoB. You'll see once I post this picture. Just come by and check this thread tomorrow.

But other than it looking weird, you don't think it would affect the audio aspect?

The 70's are already designed to output sound at an optimal height when placed directly on the floor. If you're looking to wall-mount speakers, then find a set of bookshelf speakers instead of the 70's.

Better yet, if floorstanders really aren't an option, buy three matching bookshelf speakers, and use them for the entire front soundstage...

Just know that you will be losing a lot of low end extension if you go with bookshelves over floor standers. For HT, its pretty crucial to have a sub woofer, so if you do go the bookshelf route, I add a sub to the list.

The Polk Monitor 40s and CS2 would be a nice front three if going the bookshelf route. I would suggest the BIC America F-12 sub to accompany them (in keeping the components at the same value level)

No it doesn't matter. Your Onkyo 707 doesn't put out 125 Watts per channel anyway so it doesn't matter if the Monitor 70's can handle up to 270 watts since you have no source that can provide that kind of power.

Well last night i was thinking about just getting 2 sets of the M40s and i just looked at them. They are only 125w. Am i shooting myself in the foot here? Thats a big step down from the 275w of the M70s.

LSi9's are 4 ohm speakers. I wouldn't recommend getting those without some type of external amplification. They're very power hungry and I doubt the 707 will provide enough power to make them truly sing.

Stick with the Monitor 40's.

Yeah, I forget if its rated for 4 ohms...I just know it was one of their higher lineup models......

If I had 325 bones for those I would be all over em.....

OP, I think 125 watts is fine for your fronts. Keep in mind most recievers really dont provide their full rated wattage to the speakers. They normally say at the back of the manual that its 90 watts per channel with two channels driven.

So if you get a external amp (later on) that does 125 watts with all channels driven then you will fine.

PS. I used Monitor 40's in my bedroom w/ a CS1 and a crappy Sony reciever for 2 years and was more than happy, so the 40's can be used as fronts with no issues at all.

Just make sure you get a good sub to fill out the bottom end of the spectrum

Got another question for you guys. I'm looking at these pictures and there are two sets of positive and negative connectors. Why two sets? And even if i did have two sets of wires to go to one speaker, what would they be for?

Ok guys so I just got back from our local Furnature Mart and heres what I did. Polk Audio TSi200s for the front and TSi100s for the surround. They did not have the CS10 in stock but I would have gotten it if they did. Did i do good or did i screw myself by buying different surround speakers from the front ones????

But are they capable of doing 60hz well? As well as a subwoofer? 80hz is better for those speakers, the specs may say 55hz but bass starts rolling off way before then. Let your subwoofer handle the lower frequencies because it'll do a better job than your bookshelf speakers. It'll also take a load off your receiver since it doesn't have to produce the lower frequencies.
